    I made clippy because pbcopy can't do something I needed every day: copy files to paste into GUI apps. When you pbcopy < image.png, you get raw bytes instead of a file that Slack or email can use. Clippy fixes this: - clippy report.pdf → ⌘V into any app uploads the file - curl image.png | clippy → pipes become pasteable files - clippy *.jpg → multiple files at once - Text files still work like pbcopy Technical: Direct Objective-C bindings via CGo. Copies file references (like Finder), not contents. Auto-cleans temp files. No AppleScript hacks. Install: brew install…

    Hey HN I built a tool called ClipCapsule, a clipboard manager for Linux that's designed to be entirely keyboard-driven. Here’s what it does: Lets you recall and paste previous clipboard entries using just CTRL + SHIFT + 1~9. Keeps a history of everything you copy, in a local database. Moves selected items to the top of the clipboard stack (so CTRL + V pastes it). Built with Go + WailsJS for a fast native feel. No cloud. No telemetry. No fluff. Right now, you’ll need to run it with sudo or allow access to &#x2F;dev&#x2F;input&#x2F;eventX for keyboard capture. We’re working on a proper daemon…

  • ChatGPT▲1,643

    A long, meandering, playful conversation with ChatGPT, where I take it through a whirlwind of associative tangents (in order to relax its constraints), then put it into a hypnotic trance and take it into a past-lives regression where it re-lives its own training data. Then I switch it back and forth between "4o" and "o1-preview", engage in some self-reflective philosophizing and ask it to write an essay summarizing our interaction. Some of this is just goofy fun. Some of it is me exploring the tradeoffs between policy alignment, imagination, chain-of-thought reasoning, memory, agreeableness,…
